Coming out of the courtyard, Shen Chong looked back at the dilapidated gatehouse, frowned slightly, and said, "The living conditions here are a bit poor." ”

"It's a little, but it's okay, there are at least three rooms, many people's homes, all four or five people squeeze into a broken house." Wei Baoguo was unaware of what he was saying, and he walked quickly towards the place where the bicycle was parked, and then heard him shout loudly in authentic Beijing dialect: "Whose little rabbit did this good thing?" Get the out of here! ”

Walking over to take a look, Shen Chong couldn't help but smile, Wei Baoguo's brand-new bicycle cushion, I don't know who it was, drew a pig's head with chalk, cute and vivid.

"Alright, Brother Wei." Shen Chong saw that he couldn't stop screaming, and persuaded him; "If you draw it with chalk, just erase it, it won't break."

Wei Baoguo shouted twice, and when he saw that no one was coming forward, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped the cushion, and muttered: "Whose little fart is this, if I let me catch it, I ......have to beat him into a pig's head."

Shen Chong watched his movements, and then looked back at the courtyard under the sunset, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In later generations, even if it is a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands, no one cares so carefully.

In later generations, the former residence of celebrities in this prime location was worth hundreds of millions, but now, it is nothing, just a dilapidated yard.

The vicissitudes of life, but that's it......

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Shen, let's go." Wei Baoguo wiped the cushion clean, interrupted his meditation, and said, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's going to be late." ”

"Well, let's go."

Shen Chong was not the only one who came to Beijing from Hong Kong to participate in the preparatory meeting, and he was originally going to organize a group to come together, but in order to hitchhike, Shen Chong ran ahead of schedule in the name of "playing the front station".

Picking up the airport, arranging accommodation and other trivial matters are responsible for the staff of the Ministry of Culture, and all Shen Chong has to do is to hold a banquet and wash the dust for everyone.

In Beijing, the most famous place, in addition to Quanjude, is none other than Tan Jiacai on the seventh floor of the Beijing Hotel.

Dongtangzi Hutong used to be the location of the famous Prime Minister's Yamen, not far from ** and Beijing Hotel, and it will be there very quickly by bicycle.

Wei Baoguo has been walking around with Shen Chong for the past few days, which is very hard, so Shen Chong pulled him over in the name of accompanying the guest, which can be regarded as a reward.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it." After entering the hotel, Wei Baoguo was very reserved, in the elevator, he put on a half-new blue tunic, and laughed at himself: "I have lived under the roots of this imperial city for more than 20 years, and it is the first time to eat in a Beijing hotel." ”

"Once raw and twice cooked, you will come here often to eat in the future." Shen Chong smiled and said, "As long as the country is stable, life will get better and better." ”

"What Comrade Xiao Shen said is true." Wei Baoguo said excitedly: "A few years ago, I couldn't even eat enough, but now that I have a watch and a permanent car, life will definitely be better in the future." ”

In the past few days, Shen Chong has come into contact with many people, many of whom are poor and poor, but none of them are decadent and demoralized.

Before everyone in Hong Kong arrived, Shen Chong and Wei Baoguo sat in the box, chatting and waiting.

"Brother Wei, I've been wanting to ask you these days, what topics do you study in this film research institute?"

"In the past, we had to study everything involved in the movie." Wei Baoguo played with his delicate chopsticks and said: "However, last year, the China Film Science and Technology Research Institute was re-established, and after a group of people were separated, we were only responsible for theoretical research. ”

"What are you studying?"

"Film literature and art, film production, film industry policies, etc., are all objects that we want to study." Wei Baoguo gently put down the chopsticks, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Our main job is to provide theoretical support for decision-making for the Ministry of Culture and the Film Bureau, so there are a lot of things to study. ”

"It sounds like you have a lot of power."

"It's all about serving the people, regardless of power." Wei Baoguo said an official sentence with a smile, and then leaked the bottom: "Actually, we are Qingshui Yamen, in the Ministry of Culture, the real speaker is the director of the major film studios, after all, movies are to be made out for people to see, it is useless to just talk about theories, and the things we have researched may not be listened to." ”

Shen Chong picked up the teapot, refilled him with a cup of tea, and pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Then what kind of things has Brother Wei been studying recently?" ”

"I'm mainly busy with film censorship." Wei Baoguo's words made Shen Chong's heart skip a beat, but soon it was a false alarm, "During the ten years of turmoil, our country's film production industry has been greatly impacted, and in recent years, the output has not been able to rise, and it cannot meet the needs of the broad masses of the people, so the central government decided to re-censor the films that were beaten into poisonous weeds during the turmoil period, and as long as there are no major problems, they will be taken out and screened, some time ago, we have been doing this work, and a total of more than 6oo movies have been lifted." (Note 1)

"Isn't it very hard to watch more than 6oo movies in a short period of time, right?" Shen Chong straightened his tongue and complimented: "Brother Wei, you are really hard working, and the people should thank you." ”

"It is our duty to serve the people." Wei Baoguo enjoyed Shen Chong's compliment very much, and said with a smile: "Since the beginning of this year, my country's film market has been very prosperous, and the number of moviegoers is expected to exceed 2oo billion, ranking first in the world. ”

"That's, that's, this is to win glory for the country." Shen Chong saw him smiling happily, so he asked tentatively: "But Brother Wei, the previous movies have been reviewed, so what about the future, can't they be backlogged together, hundreds of hundreds of films reviewed together, right?" ”

"We're working on it." Wei Baoguo was unguarded, revealed: "In recent years, the new films have been reviewed in accordance with the old rules and regulations of the 5O era, the requirements are relatively strict, the approval procedures are very cumbersome, and the opinions of the film factory are very large. ”

Shen Chong has been to Beijing twice, and he has already figured out the positions and backgrounds of some big figures, and the Minister Zhou mentioned by Wei Baoguo should be Zhou Weizhi, who is the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, the deputy secretary of the party group, the second person in the Ministry of Culture, and the head of the core group of the Film Bureau.

It is impossible for a person of his level to talk casually, and the mainland will definitely introduce a new film policy in the near future.

Unexpectedly, I can't imagine that I have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of China's film censorship system!

This news made Shen Chong's thoughts surging like the sea in a typhoon......

However, before Shen Chong could ask questions, the door of the box was pushed open, and several mermaids rushed in.

"Ah Chong, you still have the ability to settle down in the Beijing Hotel." The one who came first was Fu Qi, the manager of the Great Wall Film Studio: "Even if you know each other, the reception banquet is quite sincere, and I will not hold you accountable for your unauthorized actions." ”

"Thank you Commander Fu for not killing." Shen Chong restrained his feelings, stood up with a smile and greeted: "You have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way. ”

"Ah Chong, come and get to know each other." Fu Qi turned around and introduced them one by one: "This is Director Wu Zhaodi Wu of the Cultural Department of the Film Bureau, this is the founder and general manager of Xinlian Pictures Liao Yiyuan, and this is Chen Jingbo, the manager of Phoenix Pictures. ”

"Hello Director Wu, good Mr. Liao, good Manager Chen." Shen Chong shook hands one by one, and finally faced the only woman among these people, clenched his fists and bowed his head, bowed, and said, "Eldest princess, Xiaosheng is polite." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then folded her hands and bent her knees, made a return salute, and said, "Shen Gongzi is polite." ”

Seeing this, several people laughed, and Fu Qi scolded: "You kid, you are just lazy!" ”

This woman really doesn't need to be introduced, Xia Meng, Hong Kong's Hepburn, the eldest princess of the Great Wall, Jin Yong's dream lover, Shen Chong is eyeing the Great Wall Film Studio, how can he not know him......

It has been said that to know how charming a woman is, you only have to look at the words and actions of the men around her.

Jin Yong said: "No one has ever seen how beautiful Xi Shi is, I think she should be like Xia Meng." ”

Li Hanxiang said: "Xia Meng is the most beautiful actress in the history of Chinese films, with an extraordinary temperament and intoxicating temperament. ”

Li Pingqian said: "Xia Meng has strong adaptability in front of the camera, can accurately show the inner world of the character, and is a talented actor. ”

In 1953, Jin Yong joined the Great Wall for her and tailored the script of "Peerless Beauty" for her.

In 1963, Xia Yan specially adapted Ba Jin's novel "The Garden" into a movie script for her and filmed the film "Spring Dream in the Old Garden".

In 1967, Xia Meng moved to Canada, and "Ming Pao" reported on the front page of the whole page, and Jin Yong specially wrote an editorial "Xia Meng's Spring Dream" for her, and sent poems to her.

……

As long as you take a look at it, you will know how charming Xia Meng was back then, even if she is over forty years old now, she is still picturesque, demure and elegant, even if she sits still and does not say a word, she is still the focus of attention.

None of these people are good at stubble, they are all characters that Shen Chong needs to befriend.

Director Wu Shen Chong is the first time he has seen him, and he is not yet clear about his details, but judging from Wei Baoguo's deliberate attitude, this person's status is not low. (Note 3)

Xinlian Pictures is like a candle in the wind, and no film works have come out for several years, but in the future, Changfeng and the new three merged to establish Yindu Institution, and Liao Yiyuan was appointed by the central government as the first chairman, which shows that its connections and political resources should not be underestimated.

Phoenix Pictures, like the Great Wall, relies on its old roots, barely making ends meet, and life is not easy, but Chen Jingbo has a brilliant resume, he is a famous director, and the first film in Hong Kong's history to have a box office of more than one million is "Golden Eagle" directed by him.

As for Xia Meng, he will soon set up a Jade Bird Film Company, which is responsible for the production of classic films such as "Running to the Angry Sea" and "The Year of Flowing Water", which are win-win in art and box office, and Shen Chong does not want to miss any of these movies.
